The Passionate Mom

***Spoiler alert*** This book will change your life!!!

Reading is one of my all time favorite things to do. Gimme a book or magazine on the beach and I think I've died and gone to heaven. Alas...I rarely have time to read these days :(  I am "in the trenches" of motherhood & know someday there will be time for leisure reading when my kids leave, BUT as part of my "job" of being a mommy, I do make time each day to read something about being either a successful Christian, parent, or wife. So what a delight to have been given an advanced copy of The Passionate Mom a couple of months ago. I thought maybe I'd push into the "pleasure reading" category and just kind of skim it, but this book has been a game changer for me! I couldn't put it down and found that I didn't have to MAKE time to read it, I just couldn't NOT read it.

I'm a long-time subscriber to the http://www.imom.com/ blog where the author, Susan Merrill, dishes out daily parenting advice. In this book, she uses the 10 P's of parenting (perception, ponder, passion, prayer, patience, preparation, purpose, planning, problem solving and perseverance) to give us mothers some really incredible guidance. To say it is a "must read" is an understatement!
